THREE people – including a woman – were punched and kicked in a sickening and unprovoked road rage attack.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the assault which happened in Caernarfon shortly after 1am on Sunday.

A red Peugeot people carrier was forced to stop at the junction of Ffrwd Cae Du by the driver of a black Vauxhall Corsa.

A male passenger in the Corsa then got out, approached the other vehicle and assaulted the two men and a woman travelling inside.

The attacker is described as being in his early 20s, of slim build, who was being driven by a woman with long dark hair.

North Wales Police said the incident occurred after an “incident of dangerous driving”.

All three victims of the attack sustained minor injuries.

PC Nia Morris said: “This was an unprovoked attack whereby the men and woman were repeatedly punched and kicked.

“We believe other cars may have driven past at the time of the incident and we are appealing to those people to contact the police. We are also keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the manner in which the Corsa was being driven prior to the incident.”

Anyone who witnessed or has any info about the attack or the Corsa is urged to contact PC Morris at Caernarfon Police Station on 101, quoting reference RC13056921.
